"And what is that?" Sandy asked."Fight back," Cecy replied coldly.The next morning, as soon as they approached the campus, a group of reporters who were led by Mrs. Smith stood Infront of the gate. They blocked the gate that no one could pass as they yelled.Cecy shifted uncomfortably next to Ethan as she watches her yell. She couldn't believe that was the woman she once regarded as her mother. After all that, she finally understood why she was so much unlike her so-called sister Lara. Like mother like daughter. At this point, she wondered if her own mother was alive."Are you okay?" Ethan broke the silence as he stared at her driven in thoughts."Yeah," Cecy replied almost in a whisper."Are you sure you want to do this? We can just use the other gate," Ethan was quite worried. He definitely understood Cecy 's character and type. Cecy was the type of girl who was silent and easy bullied but when putting an end to it nothing could stop her.But he still felt worried about i

"Cecy ..." A dark voice yelled stopping them. Cecy turned to the person who had called her and was immediately shocked."Why are you here?" She replied slightly puzzled."Not the reaction I was expecting but I'm back Cecy for good," Larry smiled brightly. Cecy wasn't quite surprised but the happiness she always felt when she saw him had now faded away. She finally realized that she had fallen in love with Ethan."I'm aheem.... I'll take my leave," Sandy spoke feeling left out suddenly."You don't seem happy about it," Larry broke the silence. They stood for a few seconds staring at each other in awkward silence not knowing what to do.Finally, Cecy opened her mouth to speak but immediately shut it down. It was seven years since they last saw each other and she had finally grown. She wasn't the little girl who kept following and watching him from behind anymore.No, she now had a husband."How have you been?" Larry spoke again."I've been great, what about you?" She forced it

"Mister, mister what is your name? Wait up," the teenage girl yelled as he ran after nineteen year old boy who looked too mature for his own age."Stop following me, didn't you learn that you shouldn't trust strangers," the young Ethan stopped and then turned towards her."Oooh," she replied sadly."Where do you stay, I'll drop you off," he continued. Her eyes immediately lit up.Ever since she was young, Cecy followed everyone behind be it Larry or her Lara."Why are you walking behind me?" Ethan stopped halfway sensing that something was wrong."Oooh, sorry," she spoke reluctantly before walking forward next to him."We are almost there just fifteen minutes walk,""Mister, what is your name?""Aaah, jeez what's with the Mister again, I'm not that old I'm not even twenty yet," Ethan complained."Oooh, you seem so mature,""We are here," Cecy broke the silence."Thank you Mister but I didn't get your name yet,""Why do you want to know my name?""So that I can look for you when I

"Cecy , have you seen the trending news?" Sandy approached Cecy ."No, I'm not interested instead of wasting your time why don't you work on your thesis?""Mmmh, you are so boring, how can your life be so empty? Apart from working, there is nothing fun that you do," Sandy complained."Fine, fine tell me now stop pouting," Cecy immediately stopped what she was doing. This was always Sandy's way of getting Cecy 's attention. Sandy immediately smiled after accomplishing what she had wanted."So?" Cecy spoke after a long silence."What do you mean so? He is talking about you, you his childhood lover," Sandy emphasized."I'm married anyway just ignore him," after saying that, Cecy went back to working. It's not like she didn't know about it, actually when Cecy had been abandoned they had recently became friends so thinking about what had happened she didn't want to push it through."Aah jeez, why do I feel like in the next few days there won't be any peace?" Thinking of that San

Black dots filled Arianna's vision yet that didn't stop her from staring at that man with hate. God knew if her eyes were bullets, he would be long gone by now.Arianna was surrounded at all sides and she knew even if she managed to escape them now, she wouldn't be able to make it far. She was still on the floor when suddenly a path was created and someone came to stand in front of her.Arianna was stunned when she looked up to discover that it was no other than the collector that had come to her place that day and everything began to make sense. She realized at that moment, her uncle had sold her off to pay off his debt."We meet again," He said, smiling down at her."You!" Arianna didn't know whether to be angry or grateful that she met a familiar face. Thanks to him, she managed to discover what was going on."What is the meaning of this?" she asked, trying to get up to her feet to no avail. She had somehow twisted her ankle during her fall and it hurt like hell.Her inability to s
